Honda Outboards

Choose the Right Honda Outboard for Your Boat

Start with your boat manufacturer’s horsepower rating, permitted engine weight and transom requirements. Compare the exact Honda model’s shaft length, starting system and steering configuration before choosing an engine for your tender, inflatable or leisure boat.

For portable models, consider how you will lift, transport and store the engine. Compare the engine weight and the load you normally carry, and use the model’s owner’s manual for its handling, storage and maintenance instructions.

Before Ordering a Honda Outboard

Confirm the exact model code, current availability and specifications. Check which propeller, fuel-system components, controls and installation equipment are included. Confirm delivery arrangements and ask an appropriate installer to check compatibility if you are unsure about the fit.
